Getting to know Vidonna Michailov

Embrace Your True Self: Find Safety, Empowerment, and Healing Are you looking for a therapist who not only listens but truly sees and understands you, embracing your uniqueness with curiosity and openness? Look no further – I'm ViDonna, and I’m dedicated to helping you thrive in a nonjudgmental, safe, and empowering environment. Your Quest for Safety and Recognition I firmly believe that within each person lies a wellspring of internal strengths and resources, just waiting to be unearthed. At the heart of our human experience lies a profound desire to be seen and feel safe. When these essential needs are unmet, individuals often develop negative coping behaviors and suppress their emotions as a means of holding onto emotional security. My mission is to provide you with a safe haven, both physically and mentally, where you can release your negative emotions, thoughts, and experiences and tap into hidden reservoirs of resilience and growth. A Unique and Empowering Approach My therapeutic approach is a fusion of evidence-based modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This unique blend allows us to tailor our sessions to your specific needs, helping you break free from traumatic memories, emotions, and negative patterns while fostering positive change. Building Healthy Attachments At the core of my therapeutic approach is the understanding that unhealthy attachments within families and relationships can hinder congruent communication. We’ll work together to untangle these complex dynamics, focusing on developing healthier connections that allow for genuine and open dialogues. Your Unique Journey Begins Here I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Dominguez Hills, which informs my compassionate and skilled approach.

What should a new client know about working with you?

During our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy, your past experiences and your current goals. We will develop a treatment plan that best suits your interests and timeline. We will discuss which therapeutic approach to utilize based on your outlook and needs. With each session, you will begin to develop a greater sense of self-awareness, growth, and emotional well-being. Through our collaborative journey, you will develop valuable coping strategies, improved communication skills, and a greater understanding of your emotions and thought patterns. My empathetic, nonjudgmental, and empowering approach ensures that you leave each session with a renewed sense of confidence and security.

In-network insurances

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
